From Inuit knowledge of sea ice and weather, to Polynesian rāhui that temporarily restrict harvesting, to ancient fish traps designed to protect younger fish, these practices were shaped by generations of observation and experience.Today, as modern conservation faces increasingly complex challenges, these older ways of knowing are gaining new attention. What can science learn from communities that have managed local ecosystems for generations? And how can traditional knowledge and modern conservation work together?Join us for an evening with Dr. Katie Watson, marine ecologist, conservationist and underwater photographer at The University of Hong Kong, as we explore the relationship between tradition, science and conservation — and what the wisdom of the past might still teach us about living with nature today.Agenda7:00 PM – Doors open: seat yourself and order food/drinks7:25 PM – Host introduction7:30 PM – Talk begins8:10 PM – Q&A8:30 PM – Stay and mingle with the speaker and fellow curious mindsOnly at TapTalks. 🍷**This ticket does NOT include any food & beverage.
